Understanding your network’s performance is crucial for a smooth online experience. Whether you’re troubleshooting a slow connection with your network or testing the network speeds of our Data Centers, we provide easy-to-use tools to help you assess download speeds and network connectivity.

1. Test Your Download Speed

To evaluate the speed at which your server can download files from our network, you can use our dedicated test files. These files are hosted directly within our Liquid Web Data Centers, allowing you to get an accurate measure of transfer performance.

We offer test files in various sizes (10MB, 100MB, and 1000MB) from our Lansing and Phoenix data centers.

2. Test Your Network Connectivity (Ping)

A ping test is a simple way to check if your server can reach our data center servers and to measure the round-trip time for messages sent between them. This helps verify basic network connectivity.

You can ping the following IP addresses from your server:

Lansing Data Center Ping Test

IPv4 Address: 67.227.243.243
IPv6 Address: 2607:fad0:3509:2::

Phoenix Data Center Ping Test

IPv4 Address: 50.28.98.7

To perform a ping test, open your server’s command line or terminal and type ping followed by the IP address. For example: ping 67.227.243.243

3. Comprehensive Network Diagnostics (Looking Glass)

For more in-depth network diagnostics, including traceroute and BGP information, you can utilize our Looking Glass tool. This provides a broader view of network paths and performance from our data centers.
